004 ▶ it ended with a twist of fate

[ Everyone running around wild and crazy, experiencing horrible visions, having to face up to their fears, their weaknesses- a turn in events that would be unsettling in any place, on any day. Rory is not what one could call an exception to such a turn in events, unfortunately. His general reaction is... to don his fairly recently regained set of

[She'd feel quite stupid if she didn't recognize that armor. She rather liked it on him, thought it made him look...what's the word? Oh, dashing.

When Sexy sees him outside, standing at attention across the street next to the mail box she does what any sentient ship shoved into a human body would do when she sees someone she knows and somewhat adores: Go running out of the house and across the street to greet him with a big kiss on the nose.]

Pretty! You're the Pretty One!

[theniwasroman]

I'm- what? [ He can say in all honesty that English women kissing him on the nose and calling him pretty is not an everyday occurrence.

Vaguely familiar, but... no. ] Wait, no, that's not- what are you doing here?

[ Gesturey gesture you know you really don't fit in. ]

[spaceshadowfax]

I was going to ask you the same thing. You're not supposed to wear this again until Demon's Run though I suppose it hardly matters now that we're trapped in Mayfield.

[theniwasroman]

Demon's Run? Sorry, I don't know what that... [ Hrrrr. Blink blink, be reasonable about this. ] Have we met before, then? Is this a timeline thing?

[spaceshadowfax]

Of course you don't know what Demon's Run is. It hasn't happened to you and Orangey Girl yet. [She smiles.] Oh, that's right. We've only spoken over the telephone and we haven't officially 'met' in your timeline yet.

[theniwasroman]

We- we have? [ Dude. He's basically made of questions today, wow. ] Um. Okay. I don't really... remember that part. Phones are kind of- well, that probably doesn't matter, actually, if you knew what I meant when I said timeline.

[ Generally sounds like that should be convincing him he doesn't remember that part as well. ]

[spaceshadowfax]

Yes, the day I arrived. Do all humans have such short-term memories?

Timelines are what I do.

[theniwasroman]

[ Just. Rubbing the back of his neck. ] That must come in handy. They usually just confuse me.

[spaceshadowfax]

And they always will.

Now, would you care to tell me exactly are you doing in that guarding a mailbox?

[theniwasroman]

[ ....turning.

I do not see what you think you see lady ]

This isn't a mailbox.

[spaceshadowfax]

[...Oh dear.]

What do you see when you look at it, Pretty?

[theniwasroman]

Have you ever heard of the Pandorica? [ Not a thing he usually has to ask, but hey. ]
